Rejoice in the Lord always

"“The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” Galatians 5:22

“Rejoice in the Lord always; I will say it again: Rejoice!” The Apostle Paul wrote these words when he was in prison for serving Jesus.

How can we rejoice, or be happy in Jesus, always? How could the Apostle Paul write “rejoice” when he was in a Roman prison?

he key to this is our happiness must be found in Jesus Christ and in Him alone. If our happiness comes from material things, then if those material things are gone we are no longer happy. But if your happiness and joy come from God, then God will never leave us or forsake us. One of the fruits of the Holy Spirit is joy; and this joy is not dependant on our circumstances.

What has God done for you? God has sent His wonderful Son Jesus Christ to die on the cross so we could...be forgiven! Go to heaven! Become His sons and daughters! Have the gift of eternal life! Have the gift of His presence to help us overcome sin here on this earth! How great is the love of God for us. God is with us always, in good times and in bad.

So, this week, let us pray that God will
  • Help us to rejoice in Him always!
  • Bring Global Media Outreach the finances so we can reach even more people for Jesus Christ
  • Help you to share the love of God with someone you love
May God bless you,
